The train jorney was long.. too long.
A lonley one at that. I had fans come up to me and ask for autographs and pictures but I just didn't want to. I did anyway but they all asked me what was the matter. I just put on a fake smile and said nothing was wrong.
When I arrived in London train station there was a taxi waiting for me with a driver with a sign saying-
'Miss Banjo' on it is cursaid writing.
I got in and the driver drove me to the studio.
Above the doors there was a sign saying- Home to 'Got To Dance Champions' Take A Bow.
I took a big breath and walked through the doors, everyone was dancing and laughing. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard. I walked over to the front desk where a red haired lady was sitting on the phone.
I waited for her to finish, when she saw me she gasped and quickly hung up.
"Oh Hello Darling, Welcome to Take A Bow studio's. We are so happy for you to be dancing with us!" She said smiling.
"Oh thankyou so much. I'm delighted to be here!" I said with a smile.
She ushered me in and inrtoduced me to the rest of the girls.
"Ladies, gather round!" She yelled, all the dancers stood to attention and formed a semi circle around me.
They all looked so much older than me.. but they were all smiling.
"This is Maxine, Taylor, Penny, Shannon, Calissa, Erin and Eloise." She said pointing to each of the on their turn as they gave a wave.
They all seemed really nice.
I walked over to the mirrors and put my bags down. The driver had taken my suitcases to the hotel so I was only left with my dance bag.
I walked back to where the rest of the girls were.. I just stood there while they all looked at me smiling.
I smiled back but to be honest I was a little creeped out. "Um.. so.. Thanks for having me.." I said nervously.
They just smiled.
Until Taylor spoke.
"So.. what is it like dancing with Diversity?"
"Oh.. um.. it's great. I love it" I said trying to be polite.
"It's a shame about you and Perri though! He's well fit!" Eloise said laughing.
I laughed too.
"What happened?" Shannon Asked.
"Well.. it was just before the tour and my mum who is DV's manager said that people were only buying tickets to see me and Perri not the whole of Diversity. It wasn't fair on them so Jordan said we shouldn't go out anymore." I said..
It was even more painful talking about it than I had imagined.
Before I knew it, we talked the whole day away. We talked about the tour, new mixes, Perri, the rest of the boys..
Eloise gave me a lift back to the hotel, I was staying at the Waldorf.
My room was deep purple and white. It was huge with a double bed, ensuit, living room and small kitchen. It was only temporary as I needed to get a house to live in. But it was amazing!
I got my key card and went up to the room. I couldn't believe my eyes! I got straight into the shower. Washed my hair and got into my pajamas. It had been a long day.. so I was really tired. I got into bed and drifted off to sleep.
I don't know who I was trying to kid. Myself maybe? That this wouldn't be hard. To move on.. To let go of everything I had in Essex. The friendship I had, the love I shared, the laughs, the family, the best time.. Why?
I woke up to see a tray on my bed full of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. A medium sized brunette girl was standing over by my dressing table looking at my makeup. I didn't recognise her.. Until she turned around when I sat up. It was Eloise! The girl from Take a Bow. She smiled at me putting a Rimmel lipstick down.
"Morning Sleepy head!" She said with a smile
I just rubbed my eyes and smiled.
"How did you get in here?" I said picking up the glass of orange juice.
"I said you were expecting me, I hope you don't mind. I ordered you breakfast. Some blueberry pancakes and strawberries." She said taking a strawberry off my plate. I simply laughed.
I finished my breakfast and got into the shower. I must have been in there for ages, just thinking. I washed my hair and my body. When I it out I got dressed into my skinny jeans and burgundy jumper with a denim collar poking out. I then paired it with my white hi top converse and did very minimal makeup as we were only shopping today. Eloise invited me out for some lunch and a quick show round London with a spot of shopping.
We hopped into a taxi and he drove us to a cute little Tea shop called Tea for Two. We went in and drank out tea as Eloise talked about all the amazing parts of London but all I could think about was Perri and Saffron. Them together, no me getting int the way. So they can be togther. Live happily ever after without me!
"I know your thinking about him" Eloise said sipping her tea
"Huh? No.." I said snapping back to reality
"Yes you are, I know that look. You haven't stopped giving that look since you got here." She said
"I know.. I just.. He has a new girlfriend, Saffron. And without me there, they can be happy and I know I should want them to be happy together but in a way I don't want them to be cause as much as it pains me.. I love him. With all my heart." I said with a pained look on my face.
When we finished our tea we headed out to shop. Maybe this would take him off my mind. We literally shopped until we dropped. We went to Forever21, Mac, Boots, Next and Debenhams. I go loads of new clothes and some stuff for when I move into my new house. Speaking of which, I need to start looking for a place. Me and Eloise went back to the hotel and looked back at all the things we bought. I went on Twitter and sent out a tweet-
'Amazing day in London with Eloise, thanks for the welcome!!:D' I tweeted.
Within seconds I got a reply from @realperrikiely
'Glad you are having fun! We are doing some auditions for your replacement'
REPLACEMENT!!
